Hey guys, I am depending on you once again, I am wanting to buy a nice lowprofile baitcast worm reel, that can cast light lures, and price would be 150$ topps. Thanks, and I know you will help.

Abu 4600 C4-----eBay has a ton of them.

The Abu 4600 isn't quite a low profile is it :-? :-?

I suggest BPS Johnny Morris BC

it has been one of the best bc I've owned in that price range and BPS has a great warranty po;icy if you have problems Simply take it back to the store within 1 yr and they give you a new one no shipping no questions asked. And if I'm no mistaken they are on sale right now for around $119

Johnny Morris Baitcaster Review, July 11, 2006

By Harshman from Troy, Missouri  (read all my reviews)

"I recently purschased one of these reels and haven't been able to put it down since. It has become my "work horse" in my rod and reel collection. I wish I could own a dozen of these reels. I was so impressed that my wife's first baitcaster purschase was a Johnny Morris. The braking system and smooth casting ability made it a perfect reel to teach a beginer versatile enough to fish any of the circumstances that I can throw it into. Keep up the great work.

Thank you

Gotta keep the posse intact...

I recommend keeping an eye on the Flea Market and buying a used Curado. The older model might be $99 or so.

You might want to check out the new Citica 100s, Ive heard they are a pretty sweet little reel and only 120 bucks.  I have the 200 and really like it,  but it wouldnt be the best for lite lures.

Shimano Citica

Garcia Revo S

Pflueger President

BPS JM reel, you can find bargains on ebay with these.

BPS Extreme ETX10,  great bang for the buck.

I am thinking about the revo or the j. morris... with the revo... Is the sx worth the extra 50$ other than the s?

I'll don't even spend that much on reels and have had good products. If you live in an area with the Dick's sporting goods chain check out the Daiwa Capricorn baitcaster. It's basicly a super tuned Procaster, great reels for less than $100. Also the regular Daiwa procaster is a great reel for $70, I have had one for 3 years and zero problems. I have 2 BPS Extreme's too, no complaints either. If I did want to spend more than $100 on a reel I think I would get either a Pflueger Presidant or Team Daiwa Advantage super tuned. I play with these reels alot when I am at BPS and if the ever go on sale I will snap on up (I am too cheap to pay full price for anything  ;D )

I would recommend the Revo S for reels in the $100 range.  If you fish 100 - 200 days a year, you might want to stay away from BPS reels.  I have yet to find one that I cannot wear out (i.e. worm gear, pawl, return springs, etc.) in two years or less.  I currently have some Pfleugers that have been great so far.  Another season or two will tell the tale on those.  My next reel (or reels) will be Revos.... or maybe a Shimano.

i agree i picked one of those caprocorns up and i was impressed very smooth and for &65.00 it didnt perform any different to reels that i paid double that for.

[Bass XL]

no, No dick's stores around me, so you think I should get the revo s over the sx?

[Bass XL]

nevermind about the SX, Please read my new post titled "LAST ONE!!!"

THanks everyone!

What "series" BPS reels are wearing out on you? I fish over 100 days per season and have 2 Extreme BC'er's that get used alot, one is 3 yers old, one is going into it's second full season this spring. I wil say I have never had a BPS spinning reel that was worth a crap.
